Comparing man made emissions against natural is somewhat misleading. The damage caused by carbon emissions is related to its atmospheric concentration, which _is_ increasing at an alarming rate. It doesn't matter if man-made emissions is 3% or 300% of natural rate, as long as the net emission, as a percentage of the carbon already in the system, is large. Carbon naturally exists in a cycle, so natural emissions is always roughly in equivalent to absorption.
